Data Lifecycle Management: Separate Copilot retention policies from Teams chats

In a previous post I mentioned how Microsoft is adding the capability to use Purview Data Loss Prevention on Copilot to block certain information from surfacing for the user. Now, Microsoft is adding Copilot to it's retention policy controls, and starting mid-February, public preview tenants can start exploringthis new feature. Admins will be able to create separate retention policies for Microsoft Teams chats and Microsoft 365 Copilot interactions, and allows for a more tailored data management. The feature will of course require that the targeted users have Microsoft 365 Copilot license.  According to the message center, the public preview will be during February, and we can hope for a general release sometime in March. The feature will be available by default, but policies will have to be set up.

Cross posting in Teams is getting a new feature

Cross posting in Teams was released a few months ago, but according to the messages in the Admin portal it is already getting a new feature.

Users will soon be able to edit these posts, and by doing so updating all the instances of the post. Til will be possible to add and remove channels and @ mentions.



To access the feature when it is released, just select "edit" as you would do a regular post. To create a cross post message, you will have to use the "advanced format" feature of a post.

According to the roadmap, this should be rolling out by the end of March
